My Honest Opinion

[u/ASpacebornVagabond]

The pictures are oldest to newest, with the last one being taken today.

I know there's been a lot of hate and negativity for this rifle, and a lot of misunderstandings about it as well. After shooting about 300 rounds through it I'd like to throw my experience in the ring and talk about the Akdas Alcor.

First off I'd like to say that I do like and enjoy this rifle. when I compare it to my other high dollar/high powered semi autos (BAR Mark 3, SKS, Dad's old Remington semi, and less relevant the Homesteader) it actually sits about in the middle of the pack for performance and reliability. my homesteader hasn't had a single issue when shooting. even when things got a little loose, it still shot and didn't give a fuck. however, the Alcor (mine at least) is actually quite a bit more reliable than my BAR and my dad's older Remington is crap compared to it regarding feeding and firing reliably.

accuracy wise, I'm getting about an moa at 100 yards. a bit less. I don't have my paper handy with the math, pretty sure my son fleeced it from my pockets looking for sweets but for coyote hunting which is my intention with it, it'll do just fine.

now the issues I have had with it are not huge, the rail has come loose once, but that's just a retorque thing, not really a problem. the end nut for the foregrip does like to come loose after I put the crusader hand guard on but I have a solution for that now as well so no worries there.

I HAVE had feeding issues with it though, although rare in the context of hunting. They stem exclusively with what magazine is in it and if there is force against the magazine itself. with duramags it has had no feeding issues at all, and the bolt hold open has worked everytime. with gen 2 pmags it feeds perfect, although the last round hold open doesn't catch sometimes. with gen 3 pmags I have had 2 in 200 rounds of firing fail to feed, specifically when the gun is resting on the magazine at an angle. so if you use a bipod or a tree branch/shooting stick, you'll probably have no issues. I haven't even bothered with the stock magazine for no particular reason other than aesthetics.

Wear wise I haven't noticed anything worrisome or seemingly out of the ordinary. the bolt rotates and locks no problem and moves smoothly.

If I could change anything on it, I wish the price was closer to 1000, in a perfect world 800 is probably worth it imo. But, I wanted a .223 semi and I got one. Also nothing to do with Akdas but Crusader needs to use lighter metal cause the handguard is a freakin boat anchor, but the stock and grip angle are good to me.

For all those who think this is a converted shotgun, it's not. It's a clone of the Benelli R1 made to take Stanag/Pmags, which the R1 is a center fire rifle to begin with.

Lastly, do I even begin to think this is anything like an Armalite or to the same quality/performance? Not at all, but again, I wanted a semi .223 with a pistol grip, and this seems to be the easiest and least expensive way to do it as far as I am aware.

Ask whatever questions just follow the golden rule please!

Ah I see you forgot the golden rule. This isn't a combat rifle, or even a gun to compare to the X95. Your pants on head dumb for even trying to compare them.

Not to mention US prices for a tavor are around 1600-2000 usd which is 2200-2700 cad. These are 1500 Canadian if you look and don't buy the first listing you see. Get your head out of your ass, you're the one coping trying to compare the two.

Go take a shower chum

You missed his point entirely.

He was stating that 250 rounds was just one range day with his X95. 300 rounds is hardly enough to give an actual review.

Also, if you're going to call someone "pants on head dumb" you should make sure you don't start the insult with a spelling error.

You missed my point entirely. For most people using this to hunt (what it's designed for), it's a realistic look at it. I didn't have the chance to own stuff like that because I came into having a PAL late. But it's probably safe to assume the tavor was restricted like alot of rifles like that. Which means you wouldn't even be able to take it into the the woods much less hunt with it. It's very obvious you didn't read my post.

God forbid I make a spelling mistake, sorry teach. You're pants on your head dumb. Is that better?

You're getting sweaty over someone else's experience with a gun. And they are sighted in for 25 yards. Just go fuck yourself dude and get outside. You don't know me from a hole in the wall and fuck I'm glad I've never met you.
